Lamborghini make crazy cars and the new LP670-4 SV is no exception. It's the last incarnation and most extreme version of the legendary supercar. Lighter, more powerful, faster and much more involving to drive than previous models. Visually the car is 'school boy poster' perfect with its huge rear wing and aggressive wedge nose, its looks like it will bite if you get too close. In the car with the scissor door shut, the sense of occasion is almost overwhelming. The dash lights up like a spaceship as the engine catches and bursts into life. On track the Lambo eats up the tarmac as you push the accelerator further. The car feels big, which it is, but it handles it size so well, pacing through the tighter corners and is eager through the fast sweep curves. This truly is a hypercar and with just a few delivered in the UK, a very rare sight. The Lamborghini LP670-4 SV is exclusive to Thruxton and wont be found at any other driving experience venue. |

| 4 laps pupil drives the Ferrari 430 Scuderia | ||
To quote Ferrari "Michael Schmacher spent a lot of time developing the 430 Scuderia, applying the method that made him unique on the racetrack and a multiple F1 world Champion" need we say more. The scuderia is simply stunning, not only in looks but in performance. The technology in the car is mind-blowing, gear changes take 60 milliseconds - that's the same as Schmacher had in his F1 car when he won his 7th world championship in 2005. Head out on track and you very quickly realise this is a Ferrari racing car that just happens to have number plates. The gear change is ferocious, the noise from the engine is addictive and the feel of the car is simply perfect. Ferrari have built a car everyone should sample at least once. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is exclusive to Thruxton and wont be found at any other driving experience venue in the UK. |
